Default HIGH EMISSIONS! Whats going on?

Had the dreaded MOT this week guess what didnt pass due to high emissions.
Failed on fast idle, now I have had the Check Engine Light come on a few times just lately but only briefly, is this connected to my problem?

Any ideas??

No idea mate, I havent changed it since I owned it (1yr) dont know if it was changed before then? Thats the sensor in the exhaust system isnt it? Is it easy to fix myself or a dealer jobbie, hate paying those dealers prices!!

depending on what year your car is, buy a universal bosch sensor Just Lambda, Suppliers of zirconia and titania lambda sensors by post (i used the ls05) change it yourself, should only take half an hour.
